Dr. Fauci's response when asked how many people will get and/or die from COVID-19 in the U.S.:

"If we are complacent and don't do really aggressive containment and mitigation, the number could go way up...many, many millions."

Trump has spent WEEKS downplaying the crisis.

Ok. Yeah.

Fuck.

"Flatten the curve!"



(On edit: it was many many millions could "get and/or die from COVID-19 in the U.S", not just die - I missed the and/or the first time around)

It's perfect

3. And shortly after this testimony, Trump summoned Fauci and team to the WH

Hope he doesn’t get fired, or if he does, goes rogue and continues to tell the truth...

6. Emergency meeting.

Here's the thing. It is absolutely NOT beyond the realm of possibilities that he would fire Fauci. Trump is deranged, desperately doesn't want bad news to come out, so is completely capable of firing him, even in the face of this extremely serious public health emergency.

8. Classified because tRump can't stand the truth about himself.

Because they have unprecedentedly classified those meetings, it means no "off the record" comments to journalists.

It complicates the lives of whistle blowers.

4. Good!

How long before Fauci's head is on the chopping block?

When Dear Leader doesn't like your injections of reality of facts...off with your head!

5. The new Special Envoy to Albania?

Emperor Lies-a-lot is not going to like this one bit.

7. FTR, the current "regular" flu going around
